A METHOD FOR COMPARING CONCEPTS WITH RESPECT TO SUSTAINABILITY AND OTHER VALUES

摘要: The audience for this research is fellow researchers and others helping product developers to start including sustainability when they are selecting concepts.The aims of the were understand needs integrating into concept selection what might be done help them.The approach was iterate between three studies design methodology. first study focused on understanding challenges that face selection. aim second identify potential support deal with challenges. And third try out see if it actually helps address face. These executed through reviewing literature exploring two cases.The results led a focus supporting decision-making process analysing respect social sustainability. Selecting concepts complex decision made under challenging conditions. Bringing in complex, new unfamiliar aspects can make good even more challenging. When sustainability, particular barriers errors due illusory correlation confirmation bias.Despite challenges, how you at making decisions matters. drives decisions. This especially relevant bringing aspects, such as A likely candidate achieve active, value-focused decision-support. In other words, structuring bite-sized steps using techniques avoid bias. At each step, decision-makers’ anchored by things stakeholders value important. Further required investigate details employ these process-support approaches context decision-making.In addition process, complicated demand analysis. Support identified gap. We explored contribute analysis, but found not useful hand. opened up some interesting questions further research.
